• Abstract summary: We introduce a straightforward yet effective method for detecting memorized prompts by inspecting the magnitude of text-conditional predictions. Our proposed method seamlessly integrates without disrupting sampling algorithms, and delivers high accuracy even at the first generation step. Building on our detection strategy, we unveil an explainable approach that shows the contribution of individual words or tokens to memorization.

• Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in diffusion models have exhibited exceptional image-generation capabilities. However, studies show that some outputs are merely replications of training data. Such replications present potential legal challenges for model owners, especially when the generated content contains proprietary information. In this work, we introduce a straightforward yet effective method for detecting memorized prompts by inspecting the magnitude of text-conditional predictions. Our proposed method seamlessly integrates without disrupting sampling algorithms, and delivers high accuracy even at the first generation step, with a single generation per prompt. Building on our detection strategy, we unveil an explainable approach that shows the contribution of individual words or tokens to memorization. This offers an interactive medium for users to adjust their prompts. Moreover, we propose two strategies i.e., to mitigate memorization by leveraging the magnitude of text-conditional predictions, either through minimization during inference or filtering during training. These proposed strategies effectively counteract memorization while maintaining high-generation quality. Code is available at https://github.com/YuxinWenRick/diffusion_memorization.

  Large Language Models memorize a significant proportion of their training data, posing a serious threat when disclosed at inference time. We propose a new approach based on sliced mutual information to detect memorized samples a priori. We obtain strong empirical results, paving the way for systematic inspection and protection of these vulnerable samples before memorization happens.

  Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as summarization, question answering, and translation. LLMs pose significant security risks due to their tendency to memorize training data, leading to potential privacy breaches and copyright infringement.

  Diffusion models are known for their tremendous ability to generate novel and high-quality samples.

We propose a novel training framework for diffusion models from the perspective of visual modality, which is more generic and fundamental for mitigating memorization.

  We argue that verbatim memorization definitions are too restrictive and fail to capture more subtle forms of memorization. Specifically, we design and implement an efficient defense that perfectly prevents all verbatim memorization. We conclude by discussing potential alternative definitions and why defining memorization is a difficult yet crucial open question for neural language models.
